I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 and am having trouble with
uploading new files to my sites. This worked fine in Dreamweaver 8
so I'm pretty sure it's a problem in CS3.

When publishing new files (images, html, php or folders) the
files are pushed to the remote server but the permissions are not
updated. Switching to remote view and manually changing permissions
on the files always works but it should work when I publish them
and not require another step.

As I said, this worked fine in Dreamweaver 8. As a matter of
fact, I still have Dreamweaver 8 installed and it still works fine.
Is there a fix for this in CS3?

For example...
Create a new folder in the site, right click and select 'Put'
from the menu. After the folder is created on the remote server,
the user has read, write and execute permissions but group and
world have no access at all. For folders the user should have read,
write and execute and World should have read and execute.

Something similar is happening to me with new files I'm
uploading from Dreamweaver CS3. World should have read access but
it doesn't.

If I switch to remote view in the sites menu, right click on
the files and select "Set Permissions", Dreamweaver CS3 will set
them and all is well. As I said before, Dreamweaver 8 did this
without my having to go through the "Set Permissions" process.
Something changed in the new version.

The problem with that conclusion is that Dreamweaver 8 works
fine!!! Right now, on the same machine, on the same site,
Dreamweaver 8 works. Doesn't that indicate that Dreamweaver CS3 is
doing something differently?

What explanation do you have for the older version working
but the newer one does not?

Hi Murray, And I'm laughing when I mail my response to you
(na not really), I wish I had your command of English to be so
precise. However, I'm intrigued as I have now noticed there is such
a thing as Set Permissions on the Remote Site, and so I would be
interested to have your explanation as to how that option is
intended to be used.

I use that when I want to use a server-scripted page to write
information
into a folder on the remote site. For example, if I am
creating a page that
allows you to UPLOAD a file to the website, then that page
will need to
write that file into the destination folder on the site. The
default
permission for a folder on the web is one that doesn't
normally allow such
writing to occur (in *nix terms it's 755, which means that
the folder can be
written by the owner, but not by the group or by the world).
I would need
to change that permission to '777' which means that the
folder can be
written into by everyone, and I can often use DW's set
permissions menu
option (the one you describe) to do that. Depending on the
host, that may
not work - in that case, I would need to contact the host and
ask them to
make this change for me.

Dreamweaver most definitely needs to have some facility for
setting default global upload permissions. I don't think I've ever
seen an FTP or SFTP client that didn't. It needs this in order to
override the default umask settings on unix user accounts which on
a secure system are likely going to be set to 007. Changine the
umask server side is an option, but not one that makes sysadmins
very happy.

I've done more testing on this issue since I first started
the thread. It seems that the permission problem arrises if I use
SFTP. Using standard FTP works fine. This was not the case in DW8.
It worked correctly in both FTP modes.

No, I never did find a solution to this trouble except to
continue using standard FTP. You can see from the thread that I was
unsuccessful in convincing anyone that something changed in DW CS3.
Here's hoping CS4 changes it back!

Yep, it's definitely a known and common issue for anyone
using SFTP, I've been reading up on it on various sites all day
looking for a solution. Isn't it nice having to pay for Adobe to
fix things that are broken?
